Help getting started

I am completely new to blogengine, so apologies if this is a silly query.

I have been asked to convert about 1/2 an existing site to a blog style site.

The front page will have 3 different repeaters with the 3 or 4 latest items in the appropriate category.
So it will display the 3 latest deals in one area of the screen, the 3 latest competitions in another and the 3 latest news items in a nother. All the facebook and twitter guff will be in a rhs column.

Users will click on say the deals header and be redirected to another page containing all of the deals.

They can then click on a given deal and be directed to that deals details page where they may enter a response.
The individual deal page may also be reached by clicking on 1 of the 3 deal items in the home page.

The structure will be the same for the other categories.

My question is - is this possible using blogengine?

From what I have read I cannot see how to build the 2nd teir pages ( eg repeater containing all deals). All the examples I have seen have a home page displaying lists of various items. When an item is clicked the user is directed to a page displaying
the items full details where a response may be made.

If it is possible, could someone direct me to somewhere I can learn how to do this?

There's a couple of things you can do which I think may be what you are after.

#1 - you can create a new physical ASPX page that inherits from BlogEngine.Core.Web.Controls.BlogBasePage. Take a look at archive.aspx and archive.aspx.cs as an example. Any ASPX page that inherits from BlogEngine.Core.Web.Controls.BlogBasePage
will automatically have the theme applied to it. You can then put any normal ASPX, HTML, etc on that new page you create. i.e. you have full control over the page.

#2 - you could create "Pages" in the BE control panel. An example page is
here. When you create the page in the control panel, when you are in the WYSIWYG editor, you can use special [usercontrol] syntax which will dynamically load and inject
a pre-created ASCX User Control into the page. The syntax looks like:

Thanks Ben,
I did figure out the custom aspx page after posting the query.

The usercontrol with parameters looks like it will be useful for me as my lists need to be filtered by various parameters (region, category etc). So using a combination of custom pages and usercontrols that accept parameters, I think I might be able
to do what I need.
